This is the touching moment the late Cilla Black married the love of her life.

The TV legend tied the knot with 'her Bobby', songwriter Bobby Willis, at St Mary's Catholic Church in Woolton in 1969.

It was their second ceremony after their registry office marriage earlier in the year and dozens of people waited outside of the church to get a glimpse of the bride and groom.

Police held back the crowds as they stood on the church steps and Cilla gave Bobby a kiss.

The newly-weds headed to the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool afterwards and waved to fans outside.

Cilla's romance with Bobby Willis was a love story that endured from the swinging 60s for three decades.

Bobby - who was also her manager - tragically died from cancer in 1999 - but such was the depth of their connection, Cilla never remarried, living the rest of her life as a widow.

In the 60s, Bobby was a Protestant living with his dad, brother Kenny and adopted older sister, Jean.

After his mum’s death he looked after his family, taking over the cooking and cleaning for them all.

When he met Cilla he was working at Woolworths in the bakery department, although he told her he was a record producer and that the rented car he drove was his own.

The pair married on 25th January 1969 . They had two ceremonies - a civil service in a registry office, and a Catholic church service to please Cilla's family.

They had three sons, Robert - who took over from Bobby as Cilla's manager - Ben and Jack.

Their son Robert told the Liverpool Echo: "Their relationship was unique. My father always pushed my mother to the fore. He made sure that she was happy and well looked after, never looking for the limelight himself."

Cilla, 72, died on Saturday at her Spanish villa, her rep has confirmed.
